SEC commissioner Mike Slive told ESPN.com through a spokesman that the SEC wants a scheduling format in place by 2016 but nothing is finalized and any other discussion is "speculation."

Last season, the SEC and ACC went head to head 11 times with the SEC holding a 7-4 advantage, including 2-1 in bowl games with the ACC’s one win coming in the championship game.

Georgia Tech played two SEC opponents, losing to Ole Miss and Georgia. Clemson also played two SEC teams, beating Georgia in the season opener and losing to South Carolina for the fifth consecutive season.

Florida and South Carolina both played two ACC opponents with the Gators losing to in-state rivals Miami and FSU and the Gamecocks adding a win over North Carolina.
